VAST (Jon Crosby)
« on: July 12, 2011, 04:09:11 PM »
If you're into dark ambient atmospheric alternative rock, I recommend this guy. His main project is VAST. He had 2 little minor hits with the first album (Visual Audio Sensory Theater), which you may or may not have heard. He's one of my favorite artists. The first 3 albums are just so much enuhgee, powah. He'll just kill you right away. I think it's the best possible way for me to die.

Anyway, discuss.

What an indie.

I've heard some his stuff a while back and I think I liked it. Kinda forgot about it though, so thanks for the reminder.

Oh hardy har har.

But yeah, I highly recommend any of his first 3 albums with the band--Visual Audio Sensory Theater, Music for People, or Nude. Nude is my favorite, though.

I'm a big fan of the first two albums, but Nude doesn't do much for me.

Really? I think it's his best work. Perfect blend of alternative, industrial, acoustic, and atmosphere.

I absolutely adore the debut album, like the second a lot, and am bored by Nude.

Nude is an amazing album.  VAST are a really cool band.  Jon Crosby is the fucking man, pretty much.

This guy.

Is not a quirky female.

Yet Zander is pimping him out.

Gadough isn't Hitler. He's much, much worse.

He's kind of got the looks of it, though.   :lol

I saw VAST play the Masquerade in Atlanta circa 1999.  I had his first album at one time but it has long since disappeared.  Never followed him after that.

Cool story, bro.

You should find it and then buy Music for People and Nude. They're 3 of my favorite albums ever.

New as in the new live album or new material? I know there Jon released a new live album recently, but I haven't seen any news on new songs.
